Pop of Peach Wedding at Serra Plaza

Stephanie and Nico met at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano for their first look on the afternoon of their wedding. A tap on the shoulder turned Nico around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a lace wedding dress and smiles immediately filled their faces. Sweet compliments were exchanged and the couple posed for photos before heading back to Serra Plaza for their ceremony.

Peachy pink florals decorated the Spanish fountain and sparkling chandeliers hung above. Guests signed the bride and groom’s guest book, then found a seat. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances down the aisle ending with Stephanie. In front of all their closest friends and family, Stephanie and Nico recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Inside the Lounge, the bar was serving up Moscow Mule and Tequila Sunrise signature cocktails while Crab Cakes, Chicken Jalapeno Empanadas and Filet and Wild Mushrooms were tray passed to hungry guests. Everyone mixed and mingled while the newlyweds posed for photos together as husband and wife. At the end of cocktail hour everyone checked the seating chart and headed outside for the reception.

In the Courtyard, tables were topped with taupe candlesticks, beige vases filled with mauve and peach flowers and printed menus. Stephanie and Nico made their grand entrance to the roar of cheering guests, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Some toasts and an outfit change later, the bride and groom shared their first dance and Chicken Marsala, Tri-Tip Carvery, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Mashed Potatoes, Grilled Marinated Vegetables, and Caesar Salad was served for dinner. After dinner, their white wedding cake with strawberry creme filling was cut and guests were invited to indulge in our Latin Dessert Station with a collection of Petite Tres Leches Cakes, Mini Caramel Custard Flan, Coconut Macarons, Churro Eclairs, and Mexican Wedding Cookies. Once everyone was filled up on sweets, they hit the dance floor to show off their best moves and dance with Nico and Stephanie. As a surprise at the end of the night, the bride and groom offered their guests Mini Corn Dog and Meat Lovers Mini Pizza Late Night Snacks. The evening ended with lots of selfies taken with the newlyweds and many well wishes shared.
